It seems like we just wrapped up the 2010 election and should be to soon to kick off the 2012. Sadly as we saw from the Presidents announcement the Presidential race for 2012 has began. While no Republicans have officially declared their intentions for running. The President is already on the campaign trail.

Lets take a look a few of the hope and change campaign promises have been broken so far. These were compiled by PolitiFact who rates promises kept and broken of each party.

It also depends on who Romney is talking about as to what his plan is, but this is it!

When Reagan was president, there was only one potential enemy that we could get ourselves in war with, Russia. Life was simple. Guess how many are there now? The Bush wars have opened a Pandora box and we have enemies all over the world. Life for the US is a lot more complicated. Obama is an ideal leader for the time.

With his "peace-through-strength" mantra, Romney would just be like a bull running in a china store. He even got our close ally Britain to be angry with him.

One last question Mr. Romney, do you really think ER is a health care plan?

Now it looks like we have the tax payer funded campaign tour where all he is doing is blaming others. He went from Hope and Change to Point and Blame. And on top of it all the new buses the tax payers bought were made in Canada.
